i think it's cherry eye. is there anything that can be done with this? are they talking on the eyeball itself? >> they call it a cherry eye. if you look at the eyeball. see if you can get polo here. to look at polo's eyeball. in the center of the eyeball, there will be a big red sort of almost a cherry, a little piece of skin. what that is is a gland that's gotten inflamed. in the olden days, we used to surgically cut those out. we don't do that. we sew them back in and they're fine. if he understands how to do that proper surgery, that's how you treat it. it happens. >> gland in the eyeball itself? >> a little gland in the eyeball. >> i see. a similar question. my cocker spaniel has a red eye. looks like it's trying to close up. what could be the problem? he du haven't the cherry eye popout like he has in the past. >> all right. very baisically that's probably

remembering art modell. the original owner of the baltimore ravens who passed away thursday. the ravens and the modell family will hold a silent public tribute at m&t bank stadium. that's where our 11 news reporter joins us live with more. sheldon? >> good morning, rob and lisa. fans have already started to line up. this public viewing doesn't start until 9:00 this morning. fans have shown up wearing their ravens gear. this is a testament to how much art modell has had an impact on the history. his casket will be on display here along with the lombardi trophy that he held up when the ravens won the super bowl. the public viewing will be taking place 11:00 a.m. to 1 p.m. if you do plan to come out to this morning's public viewing to pay your respects, you can park for free. once you arrive, you can enter the stadium through gate a.

as i mentioned earlier, a few fans have started to show up. >> i thought there would be a big crowd here this time of the morning. i guess they'll come in later, you know? i had to come down to show my support for mr. modell and his family. i'm very sad with what's happened. like i say, look what mr. modell has brought to baltimore. >> now, as a salute to modell fans are urged to wear purple to today's public viewing. there will also be other tributes to art modell. there will be a moment of silence at some point in the game. the helmets will have decalls on the back salutes mr. modell. wbal, channel 11 news.

pretty obvious. i don't think color matters. pretty obvious. what's pretty obvious about it ? that verizon has the coverage. verizon. verizon. we're going to go to another chart. it doesn't really matter how you present it. it doesn't matter how you present it. verizon. more 4g lte coverage than all other networks combined.

>> while the sun is trying to burn through low clouds, we'll probably see a mix of sun and clouds before stuff starts to get interesting. right now on the radar, the strongest storm activity is in new jersey, but right now there's not a lightning coming out of it. out to the west in garrett

county, there are a few showers. that's all related to some stronger storms which were occurring earlier this morning. i'm gonna give you three hours of radar. you can see the movement of the storms east of us, moving from the lower eastern shore across delaware, up into new jersey. and that stuff out wet coming into pennsylvania and garrett county. but, again t stuff out west has been weakening this morning. but, running ahead of a cold front, so some new stuff will be generated this afternoon. could get interesting. let's take a look at the current conditions first at ocean city. skies have cleared. they had rain earlier this morning. you can see rain sitting on the roof there. wave action. not too bad. there is a hurricane off shore or a tropical storm. it's causing some problems along parts of the eastern seaboard. beach looks quiet. temperature on the board walk at 77 degrees. all right. now here in town, skies beginning to clear a little bit. 75 at the airport.

dew point way up there, 72. humidity 89%. so still a lot of that tropical moisture in the atmosphere. south winds at eight. barometer falling. downtown, the temperature's 79. lot of clouds. but they're breaking up. dew point 72. it's still high. humidity high as well. temperatures, annapolis 78, 72 parkton, 73 westminster and frederick still in the 60s far western maryland. satellite picture shows some low clouds over us. low clouds don't show up very welsh at least on this particular satellite image. but there is some sunshine breaking through west of hagerstown. so, that sun is gonna help keep the atmosphere destablize it. and then, a further destablization is this front which is out in ohio. it's moving east. had some good storms in front of us yesterday. they're weakening a little bit today but they'll recharge with that heating of the sun during the afternoon. so it could be interesting because there's a dramatic

difference in the weather in front of the front, east of the front and west of the front. much dryer and cooler west. so that contrast is gonna help trigger some storm activity. jet stream is involved and everything else. clouds and sun today. we're starting to get sun in the mix. storms possibly, 83 to 88, southwest winds 10 to 20 miles an hour. highest risk of severe weather. from the northeast corner of maryland. new york state into western new england. the orange shaded areas, the larger areas, there's a slight risk for severe weather. future cast shows this line of storms coming in. by 6:00, should be 6, 6:30 or so. west of the bay. moving across the area. after 8, 9, everything moves out of the picture and things start to quiet down and cool down and become less humid. so today, transition day. 86 the high.

humidity drops a lot. sunday looks pretty good. we'll see scattered clouds. it will be breezy. 80 the high. monday, low 56, 78 for the high, nice dry weather all next week. highs mostly in the 70s. lows in the 50s. how delightful. this morning's women doctor, anemia affects some 400 million women world wide. so how do you know you're anemic and when do you get checked out? dr. christine laugherman said there are multiple causes but three major reasons why someone would be anemic. >> they're not making enough red blood cells or they're losing their red blood cell orses or they make enough but they don't live long enough. they're destroying them or they have some kind of low length of life span. >> the treatment could be as

simple as iron supplements. you need to talk to your doctor to figure out the proper course of action. thank you so much. >> good morning. >> what's the significance, really, of anemia? >> it's a sign or a symptom of an underlying disease usually. in young females, pregnancy. but there's also some generic disorders that could lead to total destruction of blood cells. there's, as you get older, fibroids. hypothyroid. and then as we get older, into the 40s, 50s and 60s, anemia does have a role of hidden cancer. something like colon cancer. that's why everybody should get colooscopies. >> that's why it usually presents. >> it presents as fatigue, weakness. that's the way hypothyroidism

also presents. so, therefore, it's a very important thing to look at it. if you feel those symptoms, check out for anemia. then when you find anemia, you have to look for the cause of anemia. not just taking iron pills, which is one of the treatments. >> here's the thing that i think many people come up against. they say, not just women, but how do i know i'm just fatigued from just running around with the kids and everything i have to do? they just expect that that's what's gonna happen. >> very simple answer. see your doctor. be evaluated for the anemia. >> i guess what i'm saying, they'll ignore it and chock it up to just being, i'm just a busy working mother. >> well, that is a significant danger that people assume that that's why they're tired and fatigued. the way to do it, if you're very active and exercise and you don't have this problem. then you start getting tired and

fatigued and cold intolerance sometimes which is hypothyroidism, too. these are things to be checked out. it's very important not to avoid it. >> thank you. >> my pleasure. >> if you have question ors would like a referral, call -- still ahead, an award winning pie recipe from the winner of the pillsbury pie baking championship at this year's state fair.

welcome back. net flix is looking for a few good extras to play washington citizens and military roles for its upcoming political series house of cards. they will be casting calls today from 1 to 6 p.m. at the bel air armory. the series stars kevin spacesy and robin wright and has been filming in baltimore. the show deals with politics and

is set the in washington. those trying out for a role are asked to bring a current head shot and photograph. to be -- >> you could play a capitol hill staffer. come on. >> i could do that. >> you're a washington type. get over this. by the way, if you don't have a head shot, you can bring just a snap shot. >> have you ever done a movie? >> no, i have not. i'm not an actress. i'm a critic. i review things. >> i have a small thing about half a second in homicide. that was it. >> you weren't bitten by the bug, i guess? >> i was in college. oh, yeah. it was great. i used to minor in the stuff. >> we're on the air right now. >> i'm sorry. hey, max. how you doing? >> it's easy to talk about movies. talk about everything. >> there's on one movie to review this week. it's best. the movie is called "the words."

it stars bradley cooper. i love the premise for this film. i wish it were a better film. the premise is bradley cooper is an aspiring writer and can't seem to get that great. no agent will take his manuscript. the family has been very patient with him, thinking one day he's gonna make it. the patience is beginning to run out. he's beginning to feel like a failure. then he finds in the folds of an old brief case a manuscript. world war ii era manuscript. he reads it. it's everything he's not. it's great. through a series of events, he passes the manuscript off as his own and becomes a lil rare sensation. then the real writer played by jeremy irons plays him a visit. love that premise, right? but, certain things have to work to make this film work. they all kind of go.

you have to believe what is great about writers that the writing is great. anybody who is great, if it's a movie about a standup comedian, they have to do it. they have to convincingly athletic. they just don't believe that bradley cooper is a good writer. don't believe the manuscript he found is this sort of hemming wayesque master piece that's yet to be. and there's a third player who place another character who is narrating the whole thing. supposed to be a great writer. he's not. bradley cooper is miscast. he plays sort of the hipster guy, the cool guy, the shallow young man, not the sensitive artist type. wanted to love it. didn't. two stars for "the words." oh well. >> it is a great premise though. >> i love the premise. i want a do over. >> okay. you should. >> you and i can star in it. we figured the whole thing out here. >> it would be as good as those

guys. i'm just kidding. stay with us. john has another look at your

well, there was some serious high drama thursday night at camden yards when the orioles took game one of a four game set to draw eve within the yankees in the american game east. they will be all by their lonesome in the east with 24 games to go in the regular season. baltimore fans buzzing around town. what could they do for an encore. 30,000 plus turned out for baseball for game two of the
